    I saw their HBO pre-fight special.

    Calzaghe throws 9 punches per second.



    I'm like "no way, those aren't real punches. They're more like drum roll on a real tight snare drumhead".

    Such a horrible fight to watch but I had Calzaghe winning. Hopkins just couldn't deal with Joe after the 4th/5th round that night. That's not too say that a younger Hopkins wouldn't have been able to deal with him but who knows what was to happen later in the fight if it wasn't for Hopkins continuously cheating. He obviously felt the need to buy some time by faking low blows so if the ref didn't call them (Cortez again.. ) then would Hopkins have been able to last the pace?

    Calzaghe wasn't the most technically gifted fighter in the world but he had a skill of knowing what to do to win a fight.

    I'm sure the coke he sniffed had something to do with that

    I had it 114-113 Hopkins. It was a good fight, but I thought Hopkins won the fight clearly. Calzaghe won some rounds on volume but really did not land much meaningful.

    Then I took points from Calzaghe for being English and for that RIDICULOUS 9 punches a second thing! Unreal. I need to find the video Sal made to that.

    LOL, at about 10 seconds in I chuckled. Devastating shots! Almost as brutal as the barrage that stopped Manfredo in his tracks.
